Former TOWIE icon Sam Faiers looked the picture of elegance as she posed up a storm with her long-term partner Paul Knightley at the Pride of Britain Awards on Sunday night.
But the star-studded night on 8 October came to an abrupt end for the TV star, 32, as she was forced to make an early exit after experiencing "a lot of discomfort".
Since leaving the dazzling 25th annual event which recognises the unsung heroes of the UK, the mum-of-three has been "bed bound" with a stomach bug.
Now finally "on the mend", Sam has told her followers how she can't wait to "get back to normal." Sam took to Instagram on Thursday to update her 2.5 million fans.
